The Heavenly Gods were like caged lions.
They couldn’t come out, but they were still very ferocious and terrifying.
The Celestial Thearch’s brows furrowed slightly. “Seven Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General, three Divine Heaven Stage mythological beasts, two Divine Heaven Stage Heavenly Humans, and three Heavenly Gods. The Heavenly Human Tribe really do want you dead!”
He knew that they were all targeting An Lin.
An Lin was developing a throbbing headache. “Please don’t reiterate that. Do you think I want to be at the center of their attention? I just want to be an ordinary cultivator!”
The Celestial Thearch burst into laughter. “An ordinary cultivator? You’re even more extraordinary than me! Your wish will probably only come true in your next life.”
Xu Xiaolan scoffed at this notion. “An Lin won’t have a next life as he won’t die in this life!”
As expected of his Xiaolan. An Lin’s heart was warmed by her words.
“Alright, let’s talk about what to do with the Heavenly Gods first.” The conversation was quickly going off track, so Dongfang Zhuangshi stepped in again.
“In comparison to taking care of these Heavenly Gods, I’m more inclined toward grabbing this opportunity…” A rare hint of battle intent flared up in Chen Chen’s eyes.
An Lin instantly realized what Chen Chen was referring to. “You want to take this opportunity to break the Northern Heavenly Gate?”
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
That was insane!
Their mission to destroy the Southern Heavenly Gate last time had placed them in dire situations many times, but they were now thinking about destroying another gate now?
“That’s right.” Chen Chen nodded. “I suspect that these Heavenly Gods were deployed from the Northern Heavenly Gate, which is the one closest to the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. Seeing as all of them have been trapped in Tina’s world already, why don’t we take this opportunity to destroy their gate?”
Everyone swallowed upon hearing this.
What a brave plan! It was almost absurd!
But no one stated a rebuttal.
This really was an extremely rare opportunity!
These idiots had left behind their home behind in order to kill An Lin, only to fail to kill An Lin and were trapped in the Divine Mirror World as well! This was a perfect opportunity, and it would be a massive waste to let it go begging!
“Those few Heavenly Gods in Tina’s world are very dangerous and have to be taken care of as soon as possible,” the Celestial Thearch stated his opinion.
“Tina, you go hide in the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Phoenix Small World for now. If the Heavenly Heaven God can’t find you, then it won’t be able to force open another passageway between the two worlds,” An Lin instructed.
Tina nodded. “Take care of yourself, Giant An Lin.”
The little fairy flew away.
An Lin, the Celestial Thearch, Xu Xiaolan, Chen Chen, and Dongfang Zhuangshi remained.
All of them were very nervous yet also extremely excited.
“So… should we turn back now?” Xu Xiaolan asked.
“The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool has the beast tribe’s Heavenly Eye surveillance system. Let’s skirt around it and travel toward the Northern Heavenly Gate via the North Cang Mountain Realm. That would make our operation more secretive and add in an element of surprise,” Chen Chen suggested.
Everyone expressed their approval and traveled toward the North Cang Mountain Realm.
Kingdom of the Nine States, Wind Plain State.
There was a Heavenly Human Tribe United Army of over twenty million stationed in nine different locations here, creating a massive formation that allowed the divisions of the army to communicate with one another.
A Heavenly Human Tribe Great General with flowing white hair, golden eyes, and a vast, ethereal aura stood at the forefront of the army while looking into the distance with a hint of concern and distress in his eyes.
“Great General Zhong Qing.” A well-built Heavenly Human Tribe General half-knelt respectfully before him.
Zhong Qing nodded. “What was the result of your investigation in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool? Why did the Primordial Demonic Bear and the Thousand Change Divine Monkey leave without saying anything?”
The General was still half-knelt on the ground, and his body trembled, perhaps with fear or perhaps with excitement. “Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong and the Divine Bat Emperor have both fallen. An Lin, the Divine Phoenix Maiden, the Demonic Blood Kirin, and Tina were responsible for this.”
Zhong Qing’s expression shifted wildly upon hearing this. “What? An Lin and Xu Xiaolan appeared in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool? AND they slew two mythological beasts? How would they dare to do something like this?”
The Heavenly Human Tribe General replied, “Apparently, following the demise of the two mythological beasts, the beast tribe witnesses on the scene reported sightings of terrifying energy explosions hinting at the commencement of another battle. However, all of the beast tribe powerful beings close to the battlefield had died, so we don’t know what happened there…”
Zhong Qing nodded upon hearing this. “The Heavenly Gods of the Northern Heavenly Gate must have intervened, and the Primordial Demonic Bear and the Thousand Change Divine Monkey must have been deployed by them as well.”
The half-kneeling General was ecstatic upon hearing this. “With the intervention of the Heavenly Gods, An Lin would find it extremely difficult to escape!”
“Escape?” Zhong Qing chuckled coldly. “If the Heavenly Gods of the Northern Heavenly Gate really did intervene, then An Lin is dead for sure! Do you really think An Lin is invincible? He is at most comparable to only an average Heavenly God, but the Northern Heavenly Gate has a total of five Heavenly Gods!”
“And here we were treating An Lin as one of our main enemies. Who would have thought that he would be so foolish as to kill mythological beasts right under the Heavenly Gods’ noses!” Zhong Qing shook his head with a hint of mockery on his face.
In fact, he was actually a little disappointed that an enemy he had taken so seriously would fall to such an elementary mistake.
“Deliver my orders. Make preparations for a celebratory heavenly festival,” Zhong Qing ordered.
“But Great General, the results from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool are still unclear…” The Heavenly Human Tribe general was quite taken aback. Celebratory heavenly festivals were only held when the Heavenly Human Tribe had something very significant to celebrate. The verdict from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was still unclear, so would it not be premature to prepare a celebratory heavenly festival…
“Hmph! How about you tell me how An Lin can survive after being attacked by five Heavenly Gods at once?”
Great General Zhong Qing’s eyes narrowed, and his voice rumbled with divine might.
The Heavenly Human Tribe general trembled uncontrollably and had no response to this.
He was right. All Heavenly Gods were unimaginably powerful beings, and now that five Heavenly Gods had intervened at once, how could An Lin had possibly survived?
“An Lin is dead for sure. Let’s hold our celebratory heavenly festival and announce to the world that the very same An Lin who had destroyed our Southern Heavenly Gate has now perished in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool! Show the world that all those who stand against our Heavenly Human Tribe will be squashed like ants!”
After the destruction of the Southern Heavenly Gate, all of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Armies had been forced to retreat over five thousand kilometers. As a Great General of the Heavenly Human Tribe, Zhong Qing was greatly frustrated by this, so he was naturally not going to miss out on this opportunity to vent his frustration.
Thus, the Northern Heavenly Human Tribe United Army of over twenty million suddenly held a grand festival of celebration and joy.
They sang, they danced, and they drank to their hearts’ content.
At the same time, one piece of news began to spread from the Northern Heavenly Human Tribe United Army, and it shocked the entire continent.
An Lin and his group had slain Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong and the Divine Bat Emperor in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.
At the same time, they had also been slain by the five Heavenly Gods of the Northern Heavenly Gate!
